The Forum encouraged coaches to share opinions and views regarding the development of young players in Newry and Mourne as well as improving relationships between clubs.

Discussions were informative and at times lively but importantly they were constructive and useful. Grassrtoots Development Officer, Malcolm Roberts commented, "The forum allows coaches who normally would only see each other from the side of the pitch during games a chance to discover the similarities they actually have in terms of providing the best opportunities for our young players".

It is envisaged that the next forum will be in April on completion of the current Games Development Centre held at Newry City FC - Under 7 + 8 St Colman's Sports Complex - Under 9,10 + 11
